Trump’s landslide win resets political landscape

[Kyle]

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — It was the equivalent of a political earthquake. Former President Donald Trump’s historic White House win reverberated Wednesday through Washington and the nation after an astonishing comeback that upended political expectations, pollsters and the party elite.

There was no counting ballots for days or lawsuits dragging out close results.

By 3 a.m. Wednesday, Mr. Trump had won the race after crushing Ms. Harris in the battleground states and coming startlingly close to overtaking deep-blue areas of the country. By Wednesday evening, only the battlegrounds of Nevada and Arizona had yet to be called, and Mr. Trump was leading in both states.

Mr. Trump lost New Jersey by only 4 percentage points, and he flipped many blue counties, including Miami-Dade in Florida.

His wins in the swing states were substantial.

Mr. Trump surpassed Ms. Harris by nearly 140,000 votes in Pennsylvania, a state pollsters declared deadlocked a day before the election.

I love that Trump won ALL the swing states. Just as funny as the graphic that shows Harris didn't out-perform Biden in any state/county, the one where it shows which swing states each won with all of them under Trump's name and none under Kamala's.

It's disheartening that Kamala did as well as she did. She was an amazingly terrible candidate coming off an amazingly terrible VP performance. Her campaign was a disaster, and yet just under half the people in this country were all, "Oh hellz yeah, she needs to be president!"

Imagine what would have happened if the media weren't actively promoting her and denigrating Trump? If there had been fair and honest reporting?

I'm telling you - that's what needs to be fixed in this country: our propaganda outlets. NBC just got dinged for unfairly promoting a candidate on SNL without giving the opponent equal time, yet NBC news does it every single day. They campaign for the Democrat and spread rumors about the Republican.

So now that we know there *is* a law about equal treatment, why aren't the news outlets being forced to comply with it?
